COVER STORY
Drive Pilot can operate the vehicle when on approved freeways with clear lane markings and in moderate to heavy traffic at speeds up to 40 mph (64 km/h).
a smaller package, using silicon photonics technology,
and the new Aeva X1 new system-on-chip (SoC) lidar
processor that integrate data acquisition, point cloud
processing, scanning system, and application software.
These innovations make Atlas 70% smaller and four
times more power-efficient than Aeva's previous generation,
enabling various integration options without
active cooling. Atlas uses Frequency Modulated
Continuous Wave (FMCW) 4D lidar technology, which
offers improved object detection range and immunity
to interference. It also provides a 25% greater detection
range for low-reflectivity targets and a maximum
range of 500 meters (1,640 ft).
Atlas is accompanied by Aeva's perception software,
which harnesses advanced machine learning-based
classification, detection and tracking algorithms.
Incorporating the additional dimension of velocity data,
Aeva's perception software provides unique advantages
over conventional time-of-flight 3D lidar sensors.
Atlas is expected to be available for production vehicles
starting in 2025, with earlier sample availability
for select customers.
Aeva's co-founder and CTO Mina Rezk said that
Atlas will enable OEMs to equip vehicles with advanced
safety and automated driving features at highway
speeds, addressing previously unsolvable challenges.
Rezk believes Atlas will accelerate the industry's
transition to Frequency-Modulated ContinuousWave
4D lidar technology, which is increasingly considered
the end state for lidar due to its enhanced perception
capabilities and unique instant velocity data.
AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING
The steering wheel of Drive Pilot-equipped Mercedes-Benz vehicles will display
different color lights to indicate the system's status. It will pulsate red to warn the
driver to take over, for example.
Luminar
Following several rocky financial months and five years of development,
global automotive technology company Luminar is launching Sentinel,
its full-stack software suite. Sentinel enables automakers to accelerate
advanced safety and autonomous functionality, including 3D mapping,
simulation, and dynamic lidar features. A study by the Swiss Re Institute
showed cars equipped with Luminar lidar and Sentinel software demonstrated
up to 40% reduction in accident severity.
